GTA VI will include underwater exploration, according to Rob Nelson, head of development and co-director at Rockstar North, in an interview with Brazilian outlet Flow Games. Nelson said the game has diving equipment, along with shipwrecks that players can dive into and treasures to find underwater.

The comments add another confirmed element to the game’s exploration. The underwater activities were mentioned as part of a broader discussion about GTA VI’s world, but the available information does not specify how diving works, how many shipwrecks exist or what kinds of treasures players can discover.

What has been confirmed

The confirmed details are limited but clear: GTA VI will have diving equipment, shipwrecks suitable for diving and underwater treasures. These features suggest that the game’s explorable spaces extend below the water’s surface, although the interview excerpt does not provide further information about missions, rewards or gameplay systems connected to them.

Nelson also previously discussed other aspects of GTA VI with Flow Games. He said that many buildings have lobbies and ways to reach rooftops, and that the game combines a large map with a high density of enterable interiors. He also said the phone is updated as the story progresses.

Those points provide broader context for the interview, but the new underwater details remain the focus here. Nelson did not go into further mechanics or specific locations.
